Answer
When calculating the 60 days for compliance with a contravention notice issued under Section 30(4) of the OHSA, the period is calculated according to the general rules for reckoning time in law, often guided by the Interpretation Act.
Here's how the 60 days are calculated:
- Exclude the first day: The day the notice was issued to the employer is not counted.
- Include the last day: The 60th day is included in the calculation.
- Weekend/Public Holiday Rule: If the 60th day falls on a Sunday or a public holiday, the deadline is extended to the next succeeding day that is not a Sunday or a public holiday.
So, you start counting from the day after the notice was issued, and the deadline is the 60th day thereafter, adjusting for weekends and public holidays.
